it’s about kākāpō parrots!
I do watch Jason - he’s another Liam in many ways - same character - same principles - same story - but make it entertaining. He usually delivers. But this little piece of knowledge I did not know.
🔗 Shelter (2026) | Brandon’s Journal
Jason Statham is arguably the most reliable actor in Hollywood. He has at least one new movie out ever year and it’s always released theatrically. He actually holds the record for having over fifty live-action theatrical releases with no direct to DVD/streaming/VOD releases, which is impressive as hell. Is every movie great? Not at all (I’m looking at you Exp4ndables) but for the most part you know what you are going to get and he delivers.

We hire architects to design expensive buildings, but we design expensive human interactions as an afterthought.
🔗 Adobe Is Mucking With Users’ /etc/hosts Files – Pixel Envy
I have precisely ONE product installed from Adobe - essentially using their equivalent of Documentum. I need to move to something else that is not Adobe or Documentum and release - I suspect - gigabytes of bloatware that I have always known is floating around the drive somewhere.
🔗 The Moon was Never the Point - Gapingvoid
Like for like I would argue that there is some kind of normal distribution curve at play here … where Gapingvoid’s conclusion is correct in the centre - but wrong at the extremes.
5 - 50 and 500,000 are not ‘specific’.
Managing ‘5’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘5’ mini projects.
Managing ‘50’ mini projects is harder than one project that encompasses those ‘50’ mini projects.
Managing ‘500,000’ mini projects is easier than one project that encompasses those ‘500,000’ mini projects.
I should come back to this with more detail - lets see what the cognoscenti has to say … nothing - as usual - would be my guess.
Attention and trust continue their dance, and our choices determine how we’ll show up in the marketplace. Burning trust to get attention rarely pays off.

Unmasking either one isn’t just invasive. It is destructive to what they built.

The problem is a lack of urgency and imagination.

Oceans on both sides and friendly nations on our borders have lulled America into a false sense of security. After all, the U.S. has not fought a foreign force on American soil since 1812.

Nothing to add.
Unless you have been asleep at the wheel, living under a rock or only born yesterday - you know this graphic.
You might not know this one
Then again it would not surprise me at all if I have it backwards - and it is I that resides under said rock ( 🖇️ it happens a lot ) … by not recognising the ‘cube matrix’.
This all came to mind when I was chatting with Andrew Mayfield a couple of weeks ago who at one point in the conversation compared software to sandwiches - in someways redefining SAAS❓
Software As A Sandwich
.. he said 🔗 and then wrote about in a post. It’s a good post .. and very true - but my next job was to merge these two ideas - because as we all know 🖇️ Life Is A Remix.
First Job - define the three by three grid and decide on the axes.
Where I am so far …
And of course were I to classify what kind of ‘sandwich’ drove the development of this particular graphic - I would say ‘The Garden’.
It is clearly not right - but neither is it wrong. I will continue to noodle and welcome any and all insights and contributions.
BTW - it was writing this post that brought up 🖇️ this joke - because I have this thought that ‘the demo’ industry will benefit enormously from vibe coding.
The software and products we are building definitely utilises AI - but the AI is being managed by real developers. Unlike say my web site at 🖇️ Philpin.com - which is all me vibing with Claude and is way better than I have ever achieved in the past using Wordpress - but even before being finished it is on its third iteration as I learn and unpack what Claude is actually doing when left to its own devices.
Bottom line - it clearly believes that more lines of code than less is the metric!
